Arugula, Potato and Red Pepper Salad with Caper Mayonnaise

1 ½ lb. Small red potatoes, cooked until just tender, halved or quartered, then cooled

1 ½ t. salt

2 large red bell peppers, roasted, skinned & cut into 3/8" strips

1 large garlic clove

1 egg yolk

2 t. fresh lemon juice

1/4 t. freshly ground black pepper

3/4 c. olive oil

1 ½ c. lightly packed arugula, coarsely chopped

Bibb lettuce for garnish

1. Mash garlic and capers to paste in mortar and pestle. Transfer to small bowl.

2. Add egg yolk, lemon juice, black pepper and salt and whisk until well blended.

3. Begin slowly whisking in the oil drop by drop. When the emulsion thickens after ½ the oil has been added, add the rest in a thin stream.

4. Toss the potatoes and arugula with the mayo until coated. Line a platter with lettuce leave and mound the salad on the platter. Surround the salad with bundles of red pepper strips.

Note: This is probably from Food and Wine, but maybe Bon Appetit. It’s so old I don’t know.

I do steps 2 and 3 in the Cuisinart.

I serve it all at colder than room temp.

 
Hah. Where is our saskatoon man from Epi? It's a wild, but now cultivated, high-bush berry

that looks and tastes like a large blueberry. Very popular among Canadian Indians in the old days and was dried for the winter.

My father brought us a stick off a sasktoon tree from the prairies where it grows 'wild'. He planted it in our yard and it is now 25' tall and enormous. I've never seen one so successful. Each year it yields about 2 bushels of berries. They are particularly popular with the waxwings and the robins and just leaving them the top section is not good enough for them. The robins are already protecting the tree and the blossoms haven't even opened yet.

So easy to pick as we don't have to bend down and such a high yield.

 
Thanks for the info. My one scraggly wild blueberry bush would be intimidated. Sounds lovely.
